S A Home Loans Hitler advert is offensive, and misses local market.
Hitlers image in advertising for SA Home Loans is offensive, and insensitive to the families of the millions who were murdered over race and land.
"Hitler",sits at his desk,with bankers lamp, VW Beetle and globe for world domination, with heading in gothic type, " Why let your bank dictate to you?" in a print ad run in the Sunday press 20 January.If a dictator was needed why not Verwoerd, or Idi Amin. Because it would be as offensive and insensitive as this is. Why would SA Home loans associate themselves with Hitler, whose very image personifies racism and genocide. Lest we forget? Seems we have.
